I think you miss the point. Threatening the life of the president in any way, shape or form will create great stress in your life.

Ask Gonzo and others here from FR, who said things not even close to this picture and had visits from the SS.

The artist should live by the same standards the rest of us do - especially when he has the type of medium he does.

Exactly. He has a personal responsibility, and he just blew it!

There is no threat to the life of the President in that cartoon. It is a play on an historic event ... a picture of the Sheriff of Saigon ... that changed the nature of that war.

It is a comment. It is not a threat. It is not a suggestion. It is a political comment.

Jeez --- have a little perspective!

Is this the way we want it to be? Obviously threats must be taken seriously, but do we want to extend this to anything that could be conceivably seen as a threat?

I agree that he shouldn't have done the cartoon despite his intentions. But the vivitrol directed toward him on here is too far and unreasonable.
